In the death of Mrs. Rebecca J. Blan-
chard, of Canemah, who died at her
home Monday morning, Clackamas
county has lost another of her pro
minent pioneers.
Mrs .Blanchard was a native of
Ohio, born November 27, 1828, and at
the time of her death was 92 years
of age. Up to several weeks ago she
was able to be about her home, and
was recently stricken with a severe
cold, failing to rfecover from the ef
fects of her illness.
Deceased was the widow of the late
Joshua P. Blanchard, whom she mar
ried in Illinois. in 1851, and the same
year started for Oregon by ox team,
across the plains. Leaving Illin
ois in April, they arrived in Oregon
in September, settling at Canemah,
which has been Mrs. Blanchard's
home ever since. Her husband died
at that place many years ago.
Mrs. Blanchard was known far and
wide, and had hundreds of friends
among the young and old, who heard
with iregret of her death.
She is survived by her daughters,
Mrs. R. L. Blanchard, of Gladstone;
Mrs. Henry E. Jones, of Canemah; a
son, A. L. Blancharfi, of Oregon City;
nine grandchildren and fifteen great
grandchildren.
Funeral services of the late Mrs
Rebecca Blandiard, prominent pioneer
resident of Canemah, who died Mon
day morning at 2 : 30 o'clock, were held
from the family home Wednesday af
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock, with Rev. O.
K Hammond, of Ashland, former rec
tor of St, Paul's Episcopal church of
this city, officiating. During the ser
vices, Mrs. Walter Wentworth, of Ca
nemah, sang roost impressively, "My
God, My Father, While I Stray," and
:'9ome Time We'll Understand," with
Miss Maxine Telford, accompanist on
the violin. 1
Rev. Hammond spoke highly of the
character of the pioneer woman.
Many friends attended the services,
and followed the remains to thsir last
resting place in Canemah cemetery,
where they were laid to rest beside
those of her husband, who died many
years ago. The floral tributes wer
beautiful.
Pallbearers were W. H. Howell, A.
H. Finnepran, Maxwell Telfora, Sr.,
Herman Rakei, John Carothers, and
William Hedges.
Mrs. Blanchard's age was 92 yeavs
four months and 20 days.
Oregon City will have $7,110 less
to spend from the city tax fund and
$1,856.50 in its road fund, as a re
sult of an error in transferring fig
ures on the assessment rol s just dis
covered Tuesday. West Linn will
receive $3,550 more for its city tax
fund and $1,856.50 m its road fund as
a result of the error.
This came about In transferring fig
ures on the rolls of the assessed valu
ation on water power sold by the 1
R. L. & P. Co., to the cities of Wear
Linn and Oregon City. The assess
ed power valuation was set at $896,
000 and in the 8sessor's office, when
the figures were put upon the rec
ords, Oregon City was credited out
of this amount with $645,000 while
West Linn was given $2rii,000. With
an 18 mill tax for Oregon City, the
amount credited on this side of the
river would bring around $17,000,
while a 5 mill tax at West Linn on its
share would bring that city something
like $10,000.
According to the corrected entry
on the tax rolls, Oregon City has been
credited with $250,000 assessed pow
er valuation sold, while West Linn
gets credited with the bulk of the
vaiuea power sola, or $646,000, and
therefore receiving $3,550 more in tax
than was first supposed.
Not only this, but the P. R, L. & P.
Co., will get a refund of something
like $3,555.00 or -the difference be
tween the 5 mill tax in West Linn
and the 18 mill tax in Oregon City on
the assessed water power sold direct.
Assessor Cook Has put the mattet
up to the county court to have the rec
ords changed and order the refund to
the electric company on the first half
of the taxes paid. The court has tak
en the matter under advisement.
